So basically it’s Russians being Russians.

What is a Tatar? Why doesn’t Russia like them? Are they Muslim? Jews?

Tartars were the people of Crimea till Stalin decided they were collaborating with the Germans and then the ethnic cleansing started and the forced migration. They came back to Crimea after the Soviet Union collapsed. They are Muslim and they hate Russians.

The original settle of Crimea were Turks and Greeks AND NOT Russians.

The Turks and Greeks fought the Russian invaders and there Communist regime.

Stalin and Lenin and now Putie committed genocide against them for the last 100 years .
They have done this well before
Stalin former Ally Hitler turned on him .
A Lovely point the Putie groupies like to HIH.
Stalin was Hitler ally against the West before turned on a fellow Monster.

The Russian Moved millions of loyal Commies mostly retired military and KGB to Crimea while murdering and shipping off millions of Tatars and Greeks to prison camps.
Most of the Greek population fled to Greece or Europe once
Putin's Soviet hell was blown up in the early 1990’s.
But Putie is back doing what a Murderous KGB agent does best.
Enslaving and murdering the powerless !

The Russians have hated the Tartars and Greeks for hundreds of years.
By the way.

The Russians have invaded Crimea well before Stalin.
The Tatars and Greeks hated Communism and the Russian policy of relocating Military retires etc.. to Crimea to do ethnic cleansing.

Stalin was Hitler's Ally against the West until Hitler knew better than to trust
a Russian Communist Dictator.

Boy , very true.
My Aunt was Greek and from that place.
She escaped as a child during the chaos of WWII.
Odd thing was the Greeks and Tartars had a strange alliance in Crimea even though the two groups were enemies in the Mediterranean.

Having watched the video, the Tartars appear to be Muslims. I’m no fan of Putin or the Russians, but no wonder they didn’t want them.

If the Tartars are indeed predominantly Muslim, why is this being pushed on FR, a Christian website?

I don’t know if this is the same bunch of Tatars, but Genghis Khan’s father was a Tatar. Genghis Khan later fought the Tatars.

Because Russians ignored Budapest agreement guaranteeing territorial integrity of Ukraine, send the masked terrorists to “liberate” the Crimea, who does not want to be part of Russia.

As we all know from the impartial, honest, US media, nice Iz Lame peaceniks, jihadists as they prefer to call themselves, should be treated with kid gloves and allowed to roam freely to spread sweetness and light wherever they go.

It's part of the media BS campaign, that's why it's here.

I don’t get it either and agree, but won’t discuss why other than pointing this out

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/the-crimean-tatars-and-the-ottomans.aspx?pageID=238&nID=64230&NewsCatID=438

I’m inclined to let them sort it out, as I don’t care to have Russians & Euroweenies dictating how we deal with Mexico.
But that’s ‘just me’ and a minority it seems...

Unfortunately the Tatars are muslim and if I’m correct the Tsarnaev brothers were Tatar. The insurgency in the caucus mountains is Islamist as well. While this is unfortunate the Tatars should not be seen as some victim group. I just see more efforts to drum up Cold War and anti-russian rhetoric. We simply have to many problems already to worry about. I don’t think we can withstand a Cold War again not with the left this strong, and the changed geopolitical dynamics.

Putin has sent Chechen Muslims to kill Ukrainian Christians.

He did the same in Georgia.

He enriches the uranium of Muslim Iran.

He recognizes Muslim Hamas and takes their side against Israel.

That's four examples (there's plenty more) of jihadists spreading sweetness and light courtesy of Vlad Putin.
